Yep, he needs to be the one taking the game by the scruff, particularly being the centre mid. Something wrong when a centre mid barely sees the ball. We're not even playing hoofball either.
Our midfield will never work under McClaren, he wants two of them sitting so deep they're almost part of the back line then his front "three" to far forward laving a massive gaping hole.
And what evidence is there that McClaren won't learn/adapt? Have you seen much of him prior to us? Seems a bit extreme to say "will never work" IMO.
Well it has been a massive problem since our first game under his management and he has shown no desire to change it despite it being obvious from very early on.
You can't change your system every game though otherwise nothing will ever stick. Grand scheme of things we're only a few games in and the players won't adapt to anything if we're constantly chopping and changing.
I do think it's time he changed it though, as it's not working.
Nothing has changed. We're still playing the 4231 that failed under the previous two "managers"
